longitudinal lines of discal cilia cephalad and a third, inconspicuous 

 one caudad; fore wings with about fourteen regular lines.

Male. Not known. 



Described from a single female specimen captured while sweeping 

 forest growths along the bank of Cape River, Capeville, Pentland, Q., 

 January 6, 1913. 



Habitat. Australia, Capeville (Pentland), Qsld. 



Type. In the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, Q., the above female 

 in xylol-balsam. 



3. Criticism of My Tables of Genera of the Family. 



During 1912, in two places (Bulletin Wisconsin Natural History 

 Society, Milwaukee, June, X, pp. 82 — 89; Memoirs Queensland Museum, 

 Brisbane, I, pp. 113 — 116) I give partial generic tables of this family in 

 both of which occur some errors. 



In the first tables, on page 83, first paragraph, the definition of the 

 Trichogrammatinae is misplaced ; it should have followed under the heading 

 on page 87. The genera Ufens and Japania have but one ring-joint; the 

 table should be altered accordingly in both places. 



4. The Velidity of Trichogramma carpocapsae 

 Ashmead (Schreine r). 



I have just recently received from Mr. N. Kurdjumov of 

 Poltava, Russia, the types of this species in alcohol bearing the label 

 „40. Pentarthron carpocapsae, nov. sp. Ashm." and a label in Rus- 

 sian on the vial. The sender assures me that they are the types. Upon 

 remounting the specimens in balsam they were seen to bear a peculiar 

 color pattern which at once gives them validity. Ma si in 1909 had 

 pronounced the species to be the same as T. semblidis of A u r i v i 1 1 i u s 

 and until seeing these specimens I quite agreed with him. However, 

 carpocapsae has a broad, long, yellow stripe along the whole thoracic 

 meson and two shorter and narrower ones on each side; these stripes 

 give a peculiar effect which I have never seen in any member of the 

 genus. Moreover, the fore wings are usually fumated only out to the 

 origin of the marginal vein and the fumation has an oblique distal 

 margin, extending farther along the caudal margin; the posterior wings 

 bear but one long line of discal cilia, the central one; the oblique line 

 from sligmal vein includes about four cilia (fore wing). The species 

 must be considered valid because of its peculiar coloration, at least un- 

 til proved otherwise. It seems closest to Trichogramma fasciatum of 

 Perkins. The coloration in Trichogramma is very variable but not so 

 as to form patterns as in this species. The types consisted of six males,
